I've always been extremely happy that I chose Wellesley and Wellesley chose me.

As I've grown older, I've seen more clearly where another choice might have led, particularly in speaking with women in my cohort who did not attend single sex colleges—and many regretting it. I went to a large co-ed public high school and received an excellent education, but it was better to be a cheerleader than an egghead. Wellesley provided me with a big boost to self-esteem and at last, I actually spoke out in class. I appreciate the way Wellesley has become more diverse, just a better place in many ways for all women.
